SOME "BY HECK!" HISTORY
J 1I Ms nrt. it Isn't one In a
hundred that can hit oft the deeper dif
ficulties of. his art with the Imaginative
phraae of the trained writer. Henry
Miller can and dots. But then Henry
Xlller long br6 proved his rare Intelli
gence In productions llko "The Great
Divide" and "Her Husband's Wife,"
America's high water marks In drama
nd comedy ,
And so It was no surprise to the pres
ent writer to hear Mr. Miller, as he lolled
at ease between matinee and night per
formance this week, express with a new
and singular beauty the "hunger of
achievement" that leads perhaps not to
success, but certainly to something finer
and moro enduring. Such a sense of lire
and art has long animated Mr. Miller.
He may be-as he delights to assert- a
shopman." Occasional productions of
such sentimentality as "Daddy Long
Legs" doubtless please his pocketbook
better than his soul. But. for nil that.
Mr. Miller Is no victim of that fatty
degeneration of success" which he sees
sapping actor after actor of the Ameri
can stage.
Mr Miller, like almost every other
actor who Is an artist first and a star
afterwards, knows that one solution or
the American theatre problem, one way
to give good performances of good plays
at a decent price. Is the resident com
pany He lias seen Its success In Uurope,
and he himself graduated from a similar
organisation of his early days. But even
now. with city after city tolng some
experiment In local production, the
Broadway company of well-balanced
actors seems only a hope. The stage is
In tho tolls of competition: competition
within Itself, competition with the
movies Actors' salaries have become
almost prohibitive to nny manager but
the man of big successes.
And so, of course tho tnlk was oft on
W. Inevitable tack of tho photoplay! Arc
tno movies the inevitable enemy of the
drama? Will they extinguish It? All Ihe
old questions.
"It's strange." mused Mr. Miller, "how
these things come up again nnd agnln
Once people were asking, 15 years ago,
If the automobile would abolish the horse
I notice as a farmer that I have to pay
Just as much for a good pair as I ever
did. The phonograph haB come. It Is
extremely popular. Yet concerts, recitals,
operas go on and we even sing now and
then." I
Melodrama, Mr. Miller sees plainly
enough, and low comedy, those are the
points of attack where the movies ore
felt. They do that sort of thing better i
than It can ever be done In the theatre ,
And they do It cheaply for Just the people
that want that sort of thing and that
cannot afford the ordinary theatre prices
"The price, after all," says Mr, Miller,
"Is halt the secret of the movies" Two
dollar photoplays, he thinks, can be suc
cesses only In exceptional cases "The
Birth of a Nation," een though an un
usually elaborate and skilful production,
owed Its success to the "genius of sur
prise." The surprise, tt Is Impossible to
repeat, the spectacular elaborations are
hard to outdistance; only the skill re
mains. But will people pay $2 for that skill
alone when It deals only In the flat, only
wltly silent figures? The charm and the
power of the stage, Mr. Miller believes.
i in the acting, and the acting of the
jken drama hns that "virtuosity of the
' voice" which tho movies utterly lack. If

play Itself How many great actors ap
pear to less advantage on the screen than
some young man of open, handsome fea
tures, who "takes well," nnd who can ex-
KTu .wllh th ald of ,ho magnification
or the lens, tho common emotions so that
no man may mlstako them' Tho women
siais made by tho movies ate merely
good-looking oung girls with personal
charm and jouth If they had to convey
emotion with the voice, where would they
be' Back In musical comedy whence
some of the most successful have come
from. ,
Mr. Miller Is a eonscratlvo of tho then-
'..n Tlcl1' rlnc conservative It In his
Instinctive ambition to sne the best ns
the past has shown It. Ho studies the
present and selects those things of It that
seem pormnnent On this particular aft
ernoon he had a pile of books nhoir tho
new stngecrnft" of Gordon t'rnlg and
Max nclnhardt on his table He had read
them and relected them. Their eccentrici
ties annoyed, their dlergenco from tho
art of stare setting as ha hnd seen It
(trow up about him So he w tinted no
red skies nnd purple trees" And yet,
as tho writer reflected at tho door, "the
simplicity of Mr Miller's square-cornered
and spnrsely settled rooms Is onlv one
!.",.? thnt ,nme new stagecraft that
Mr. Miller condemns" That "hunger of
achievement" led Mr Miller ns surely on
the road to a beautiful nnd appropriate
stage as It had Gordon Craig. It will lend
him farther. k M.

By WILLIAM HODGE
flays of rural New ISngland of tho
tpe now popular and best known and
understood In "Tho Old Homestead,"
"Shore Acres" and
'The County Tnlr"
-have been slow of
rowth on the
American s t a ft o
nd have attained
io growth at all In
he English then
res, where tl'e
nnkeo character
s burlesqued un
mercifully or not
olernted
But the Yankee
ion and women
avo been made
ne central figures
n many plays pro
duced In this coun
ty Tho first
known plav Is "The
Contrast" written by a Boston man,
Ilojnl Taylor, moro than n, hundred
J ears ngo and acted with smnll success
b Thomas Wlgncll, an excellent Eng
lish actor, who came to America nnd
established himself hero about ITS. Some
30 ,enrs later another Ynnkce character
was prospntcd In the Jonnllinn of "Tho
Torest ltdse." n musical pleco In which
several actors won distinction, notably
Henrv 1'lnclde and "Yankee" Hill
However. It wns a cltlren of Chicago,
DniiBro-tli Marble, who first mado tho
Yankee shrewdness nnd Ynnkeo humor
succcsful ns n stage portrnllurc While
he vn managing tho Chatham Thentro
In New York he got hold of a play
called "Sam Patch," which contained nn
excellent depiction of a New England
character Ho plnjed tho part moro thnn
a thouand times In this country, then
went to London and met with great suc
cess In "The Vermont Wood-Dealer "
'Solon Shingle" made Its appearance
about ISO, and several Now England com
edians plnjed the role In succession,
tho best known being Joshua B Sllsbee,
"Yankee' Hill nnd John D Owens. Solon
wna Hhown ns a simple-minded but
shrewd Ynnkeo, whose chief nnxlcty was
over the loss of a "bar'l o' apple sass."
It was for Joshua Sllsbee. who went to
England nnd met with moderate success
there, thnt Tom Taylor wrote "Our Amer
ican Cousin," a momentous play In the
atrical annals. It made the reputation
of two nctors on Its first performance
two of the greatest of their day and It
wns this ploy that was being presented
on the stage of Ford's Theatre, Washing
ton, on the fnteful night when President
Lincoln met his death nt the .hands of nn
assassin.
R. A. Sothern, who wns unwillingly cast
for the "silly ass" rolo of Lord Dun
dreary In the play,-made nn Immense hit
In the part, and even Joseph Jefferson's
tremendous performance of Asa Trench
nrd did not overshadow that of Sothern.
"The Old Homestead" grew out of a
mere sketch of two scenes, and was pre
sented ns a completed play In Boston In
1ST7 Since that time It has been seen
by mora than 6,000.000 people. Then came
"Shore Acres" and "Margaret riemlng."
In which James A, Hearne reached great
popularity. After this there followed a
long list of plays which depleted somo
phase of New England life. Charles
Hoyt took several flings at the Yankee.
"Way Down East" begins the modern
list of th Yunkee play on which wo can
placo such recent plne, Inasmuch as
tney contain homely characterisations,
as "Itcbecca of Sunnybrook Fnrm." nnd
the plays In which I have met with con
siderable success. "Mrs. Wlggs of the
Cabbage Patch" and "The Man from
Home " and, of course, my present play,
"Tho Iload to Happiness."
